You live in your own alternate reality, don't you Charrison?

Leading indicators were starting to turn positive at that point.

Wait till the FHA and HUD both go under and we lose even more money. The President has done nothing to tighten up credit in the housing market It can all collapse rather quickly. What has President O'Bammah done to fix the Real Estate problems? The answer is nothing.

We have heavier regulation on credit cards.

In case you wanted to buy your house with an Amex :confused: :D

*sigh* Economists can be wrong. They frequently are wrong. They still know more about economics and are more likely to be right than you.

I don't claim to be right. You post articles like this because it supports your delusion that your president's fiscal policy is good for the country. We don't need more out of control spending.

Because you're an economist and you know what you're talking about? Yeah, right... Like we really need amateur fucktard opinions driving our fiscal policies.

I plan ahead and I spend within my means. Same couldn't be said about the federal government when controlled by either party (even though Obamanomics blows them all away by a long shot). Do you expect foreign countries to continuously buy our debt even though the US dollar is bound to lose value over time? You don't need to be an economist to understand that, but obviously you're too stupid to realize that the deficit will screw future generations.

In the future, I can say I spoke out against deficit spending to my children/grandchildren. I would be delighted to see that the next generations turn against people like you who gladly supported policies that mortgaged their future away and left them to pay the debt.
